Luka 16:19-21.

KISWAHILI: NIMEKULA KWA PUA.

Alikuwepo mtu aliyekuwa safarini kwenda kuwasalimu ndugu zake. Mtu huyo, alitembea mwendo mrefu mpaka mwishowe akajisikia njaa kwa sababu ya kupitisha muda mrefu bila kula chakula. Yeye alipita kwenye familia moja akawakuta wanamalizia kula wali ambao ulimunukia tu, bila kuula, kwa sababu ulikuwa umeisha. Ndiyo maana alisema kwamba, “nimekula kwa pua.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye huvumilia kwa kusubiria mpaka chakula kingine kipikwe akiwakuta wenzake wamemaliza kula, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, husubiria mpaka wapishi wamalize kupika chakula kingine kila anapowakuta wenzake wamemaliza kula kwa sababu ya uvumilivu wake huo. Yeye huishi  kwa furaha kubwa na watu waliyoko kwenye familia yake hiyo, kwa sababu ya kuongea nao kwa uvumilifu wake huo, maishani mwake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule aliyewakuta wenzake wamemaliza kula wali ulioishia kunukia tu kwake, kwa sababu naye huvumilia kwa kusubiria mpaka wapishi waivishe chakula kingine, anapowakuta wenzake wamemaliza kula, katika maisha yake. Ndiyo maana yeye husema kwamba, “nimekula kwa pua.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuwa na uvumilivu wa kuwawezesha kusubili mpaka wapishi waivishe chakula kingine wanapowakuta wenzao wamemaliza kula, ili waweze kuelewana vizuri, maishani mwao.

Luka 16:19-21.

ENGLISH: I HAVE EATEN BY USING NOSE.

There was a man who was on his way to greet his brothers. He walked a long way until he finally felt hungry because of spending a long time without eating. He passed by a family and found them finishing eating the rice that he only smelled, without eating it, because it had run out. That is why he said that, “I have eaten by using nose.”

This saying is compared to a person who endures by waiting until another meal is cooked when he finds his colleagues have finished eating, in his life. Such person waits until cooks finish cooking another meal whenever he finds his colleagues have finished eating because of his patience. He lives happily with the people in his family, because of talking to them with his patience, in his life.

This person is similar to the one who found his colleagues finished eating rice that ended up smelling only to it, because he also endures by waiting until the cooks put on another food, when he finds his colleagues have finished eating, in his life. That is why he says that, “I have eaten by using nose.”

This saying teaches people about having strong patience enough to enable them wait until cooks put on another food when they find their colleagues have finished eating, so that they can understand each other well, in their lives.

KISWAHILI: LUHUNI LEO AMEKWAMA.

Alikuwepo mtu mmoja aliyeitwa Luhuni katika kijiji fulani. Mtu huyo alikuwa na tabia ya wizi wa vitu vya watu kwa sababu ya uvivu wake wa kufanya kazi zake vizuri. Yeye alikuwa akiiba vitu vya watu hao mara nyingi bila kushikwa. Lakini siku moja alikamatwa alipokuwa akiiba mali hizo za watu. Ndiyo maana watu walimwambia kwamba, “Luhuni leo amekwama.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye ana tamaa ya kuwatendea matendo maovu wenzake, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, alizoea kuwatendea wenzake matendo hayo maovu kwa kujificha ili asionekane, kwa sababu ya tabia yake hiyo mbaya. Yeye alipata matatizo ya kukamatwa na kupewa adhabu ya kulipa mali nyingi, kwa sababu ya kuwatendea wenzake matendo hayo maovu, maishani mwake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule Luhuni aliyekuwa akiwaiibia watu mali zao mpaka mwishowe alikamatwa, kwa sababu naye huwatendea wenzake matendo maovu mpaka mwishowe anakamatwa na kupewa adhabu ya kulipa mali nyingi, katika maisha yake. Ndiyo maana watu walimwambia kwamba, “Luhuni leo amekwama.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuacha tabia ya kuwatendea wenzao matendo maovu katika maisha yao, ili waweze kufanya kazi za kuwapatia mali zao vizuri, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: LUHUNI HAS STUCK TODAY.

There was a man named Luhuni in a certain village. He had a habit of stealing people’s things because of his laziness in doing his work properly. He used to steal things from those people many times without getting caught. But one day he was caught while he was stealing people’s property. That is why people told him that, “Luhuni has stuck today.”

This saying is equaled to a person who has the desire to do evil deeds to his colleagues, in his life. Such person used to do these evil deeds to his equals by hiding so that he would not be seen, because of his evil behavior. He had troubles of being arrested and given punishment of paying a lot of money, because of doing those evil deeds to his colleagues, in his life.

This person resembles to Luhuni who used to steal people’s property until he was finally caught, because he also does evil things to his fellows until he is finally caught and given punishment of paying a lot of money, in his life. That is why people told him that, “Luhuni has stuck today.”

This saying teaches people to stop the habit of doing wicked things to their companions in their lives, so that they can work enough to get their wealth well, in their lives.

KISWAHILI: MIMI SIO WA KULETEWA MAJIGAMBO.

Walikuwepo watu waliozozana kwenye kijiji cha Mwatuma. Watu hao, walizozania mpaka wa mashamba yao mpaka wakaanza kutukanana kwa sababu ya hasira zao. Mmoja wao alionesha kwamba yeye hatishwi na yeyote wala hashindwi. Ndiyo maana alisema kwamba, “mimi sio wa kuletewa majigambo.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye hukasirika haraka mpaka anaongea maneno yasiyo na faida, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, huwa anawakaripia hovyo watu walioko kwenye familia yake, kwa sababu ya hasira zake hiyo. Yeye huwasambaratisha watu anaoishi nao kwenye familia yake, mpaka anabaki yeye peke yake, kwa sababu ya hasira zake hizo, maishani mwake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na wale waliozozania mpaka wa mashamba yao, mpaka wakaanza kutukanana hovyo, kwa sababu naye hukasirika haraka mpaka anaanza kuwatukana hovyo watu walioko kwenye familia yake, katika maisha yake. Ndiyo maana yeye huwaambia watu hao kwamba, “mimi sio wa kuletewa majigambo.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuacha hasira za kuwatukana hovyo wenzao, ili waweze kuzilea vizuri familia zao, maishani mwao.

There were people who quarreled in a village of Mwatuma. Those people argued about the border of their fields until they started insulting each other because of their anger. One of them showed that he is not threatened by anyone and does not fail. That is why he said that, “I am not one to be boasted about.”

This saying is equaled to a person who gets angry quickly until he speaks useless words in his life. Such person scolds the people in his family carelessly, because of his anger. He despises the people who stay with him in his family, until he remains alone, because of his anger.
